I found this 5 part interview on youtube of Dr. Robert Adler of Zenith which was recorded back in 2004 and loaded to youtube in September of '09. (Adler passed away in February, 2007) For those who are not aware, Dr. Robert Adler was the creator of the ultrasonic space command remote control.
Its a 2-1/2 hour long interview in which Adler tells his storys of life in Europe prior to coming to Zenith in 1941, and then goes into details of his life at Zenith with his innovations.

Im not particularly impressed with the lady that conducted the interview as she did not speak clearly and mumbled half way through her questions to Adler which is rather annoying. She didn't seem very interested in the discussion. Never the less, I think this is an excellent piece to watch of you appreciate the history of Zenith and electronics in general. Im am pleased to see he was interviewed, he is quite a modest man considering his contributions to the field of electronics. I hope Eugene Polley has been, or can be interviewed as I believe he is still with us.
